2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (Series tied 3-3, Game 7 Sunday!)

Well at least the Pacers made it to the Finals, which is more than I can say about the Sixers.

Congrats Thunder, for getting one in this parity driven league so anyone that does it deserves respect as we see a merry go round of champions in yet another next decade, more or less.

I really REALLY hope that one day the apparently socially sensitive NBA stops having arenas use a song from a convicted pedo to rev up fans.

Gross.

Yeah it kept them in it for a bit but also killed their rhythm

OKC is not letting TJ pass the ball. They don't mind him going 1 on 1 all day as long as the ball is not going to the shooters

What a shame Haliburton went down. Reality hit both teams at the half. OKC very confident now and most pacers backups unable to rise to the moment. Learning what happened to their teammate at half didn't help.

To think we’re gonna be subjected to years of this team winning because everyone else is broken currently

Can't believe I stayed up past 3am for this garbage

This will be one of the greatest what ifs in NBA history because I’m convinced they win this if Hali isn’t hurt.

Congrats to the Thunder. It wasn't always pretty but they were the best team all year.

Props to the Pacers. What a team.

Keep telling yourself that

They desperately need another athletic big that can be a lob threat because Miles tends to fall in love with his 3 too much.

Well, that would be IJax who tore his Achilles in the first week of the season... :banghead:

If you mean as many free throws as field goals made, yes. MVP level from SGA.

Wasn't his best today, but still solid, and the breadth of his work was impressive.

I'm gonna play a computer game.

Great season, guys! Congratulations to the OKC champs! Best team for the last eleven months!

Siakam's a good bloke, should have just gut punched one or more of them. Dude has been mugged all series. Disgusting

Yeah. But hope in miracles was at an all-season high across the world.
